What Does Biracial Mean? How to Talk to Kids about Race
Even though some topics can a little more delicate to navigate, they’re still important to talk with our children about. Moshi does an amazing job of weaving social and emotional lessons into their magical bedtime stories and moments. Here are just a few quotes from whimsical Moshi Stories that touch on the importance of diversity and acceptance, written specifically for kids.
Even though they’re different and they don’t live in the sea.
Cali the Moonlit Mermaid
Most creatures from above the waves are just like you and me…
They love and care and laugh and share, and some can even swim!
So it’s wrong for you to ban all contact on some ancient whim.
Celebrating differences is what the world should do,
YaYa the Zonkey
And sharing similarities is quite essential too.
Tumbles and the wizard show the Woodland Moshlings round.
Tumbles the Nifty Shifty
They’re stunned by all the different Moshlings wandering through town.
“We should have been more welcoming” the Woodland Moshlings say,
“We promise we’ll be nicer if you come again someday.”
The wizard says, “You can’t expect to fit in all the time.
Just make sure that you’re kind to others, then you’ll be just fine.
And if you feel self-conscious, as if you don’t fit in…
Relax, because it’s best when you feel comfy in your skin.
Don’t change the way you look or feel to be part of the pack
A true friend sees beyond mere looks and always has your back.”
With that the wizard disappears, then Tumbles and his friends
Hug the Woodland Moshlings, who agree to make amends.
